When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found one person in the driveway and the ranch-style home engulfed in flames. Firefighters called in a second alarm and an ambulance upon arrival.

The fire was under control at around 3:30 a.m. Officials said the children told the two adult occupants that they smelled an odor coming from the home, but when the father investigated, he could not find the source. Several hours later, the eight occupants barely made it out, according to the chief.

Six people that live in the home jumped from the rear deck to safety. The other two occupants who were spending the night escaped through basement windows.

Four people sustained injuries; three were taken to the hospital to be treated for burns.

Due to the extent of the fire at the home, officials concentrated on saving the detached garage in which they were successful. A tree 300 feet away also caught on fire, but was put out in a short period of time, officials said.

It is unknown if the home was equipped with smoke detectors. The cause of the fire does not seem suspicious, according to a fire official.

One firefighter sustained a minor injury to the leg. He was treated and released from the hospital.

According to fire officials, the home was a complete loss. The family will be staying with relatives who live nearby.
